The Stationers Guild

The New York Times reports that luxury stationer Mrs. John L. Strong is closing.  This venerable stationer, founded by Flora Strong during the depression (the Great Depression of the 30s, not this one!), closed its Madison Avenue store on Thursday.

All of us in the stationery industry lament the passing of one of the great design firms for fine stationery and custom invitations.  Needless to say, the presence of Mrs. John L. Strong will be sorely missed.
